Stanley Locals want ban on parking

More trouble for Accrington Stanley as local residents want a ban on parking by supporters going to watch games at the Interlink, now renamed the Fraser Eagle, stadium.

At the first meeting of the Accrington Stanley Residents' Liaison Group, set up to improve relations between the club and residents, people complained fans arriving by car were causing parking problems and congestion.

According to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, Local Borough traffic manager, David Law, said club officials have agreed to ask the owner of a former brickworks site, in Whinney Hill Road, if it can be used as a car park.

They are also understood to be exploring other potential car park sites.

Parking at the Fraser Eagle Stadium is said to be insufficient to meet demand on match days and after the club's promotion to League Two, the number of fans going to games is likely to increase.
